Good news? Bad news? It all depends on how you look at things.
Consider the following factual news that could send a pessimist around the bend and over the edge:
POVERTY: Almost half of the world’s population earns a below-average income.
ILLITERACY: If current trends continue, by 2022 almost every child born will be illiterate.
DISEASE: Fully 98 percent of people are at risk of getting cancer.
DEATH: By 2060, at current mortality rates, two out of every three people in the world will be dead.
See? It pays to be optimisitc, no matter how bleak the news might seem.

I love it.
My perspective is my reality. If I look at things with my pessimist glasses on, my day will be full of pessimism.
But, if I look at the same things with my gratitude glasses on, life will be a lot better.
Life is as good as I allow it to be.
